Definitely the Last Chance ....
People still considering whether or not to attend the
'Grand American' as part of our package are reminded it is
now time to make the decision.
If you rcqll~rc furtl,?~. inlirrmatiun, plu;ise uoni:lcI ilr l)on

packages available where you can get two holidays for the
price of one!
Are we following America?
One alarming trend in our Society today is to blame everyone
else hut yourself for your shortcomings, and to immediately
threaten court action if you cannot get your way,
It is not so many years ago that, if someone played the
system and were caught out, they accepted the decision of
their peers. It was a pleasant society to live in, and
everyone enjoyed their sport, and even sought to achieve
the highest standard they could. They had pride in their
accomplishments.
One wonders what is to he gained by the very few, thank
goodness, members of our sport who will go to any length
to ensure they compete in the lowest grade, or they shoot
from the closest handicap mark possible. And when they
are regraded or rehandicapped, threaten court action.
The trend to threaten court action is not only confined to
the above mentioned. It seems to be that many in the
Community believe that the best way to achieve their own
selfish goals, or prevent themselves from being made
accountable for their unacceptable behaviour, is to also
threaten legal action. It is hoped that all members of our
Association accept our standard and at all times leave us
with nothing to complain, let alone to become involved in a
costly court action.
In my experience there are no winners other that the legal
profession in such ventures.

I.nst rnunrh I asked hr suggesriuns for artlclcs ru be

The response was great and some excellent suggestions
were received, and some will definitely be included in
future editions.
We would still welcome ideas. If there is something you
feel would assist, please let us know.

SCORES ENTERED IN
SHOOTERS RECORD BOOK
Please note: As per rule2.l(h) 2.3(a) it is the

It is the shooters responsibility to ensure that this has

Shooters should also note that if a downgrade is not
accepted after the appropriate 600 targets, ie 3 brackets
of 200 (at a lesser grade) then the shooter must accept

Waratah State Notes
CTSE Ltd
I hope by now all of our shooters have heard about the NSW
Business Venture to purchase land for use as a farming
enterprise as well as a location for a State Shooting Ground.
If you, the shooters, really want a State Ground for this state,
as well as a 'home base' for Clay Target Shooting, keep those
pledges rolling in. I have been very pleased with the response
from shooters who I sneak to at various shoots throuehout the
State. It's also oleasin'e to hear from anv the realisatyon that
u
thls venture can be in one location only and it is not llurnanly
posslble for it to he sutrablc to every shootcr where ever they
may live.
Acceptance of this issue, I believe, will guarantee us a
successful venture. If you are interested in becoming part of
this venture, please contact NSWCTA, PO Box 2225, Orange
NSW 2800, phone (063) 614443.

Returned 1996 Commonwealth C'ship
After the NT returned all their allocated 1996
Commonwealth C'ships, NSW applied for and was allocated
the Commonwealth Night Mixed Targets Championship for
this year, 1996.
If you would like to he considered for allocation of this
Championship please apply in writing to the State Office by
15th June 1996. Notification of the allocation will he in
writing to the club concerned. Due to the lateness of the
notification and the CTSN deadlines. I feel that conducting of

Dear Glenn
Aftrr reading 'l'residunts Notes' In >I:11.cn issue of CI'SN :~nd
your invifation to mcmbcrs for ]terns for a bctter magazine I
would like ro suggest the following.
A section be set aside and run on 'Rules'. Suggested name:
'Rules Corner' or similar. This section would take the format
~ ~
ofa qoestion1an.iwer type of publicarton with rcfcrencc to a
D'1'1. rulc, and 3 Skeet rule in each issue.
There are numerous rules in both disciplines that are in 'grey
ares', and perhaps by making them a little more publicised
the whole fraternity of shooters may benefit.
Readers questions on Rules could be invited and used as 'a
reply to system' by the co-ordinator.

The first full daytime shoot of the year was
held last Sunday (March 10th) at the Mount
Isa Gun Cluh, and it would have to be called
successful. Eighteen shooters attended,
including the President and Secretary of
the newly formed Cloncurry Gun Club.
Fifty targets of Skeet was called for first up, with
the opening shot being fired at 9.30am. Phil Leddick
strung together a very respectable 49/50 to claim A
Grade, with Neil Sinclair holding out to win B Grade
44/50. Rod Cusack's 41/50 was quite a good score
under the prevailing conditions and earned him the
Due to the Club holding it's Annual General Meeting
at the Shoot, only one event was shot before the
With hunger pangs fully sated and the future of the
Cluh decided, it was "Once more into the Fray", this
time with 50 Targets Pointscore. Cloncurry Gun
Club President, Gary Brown, wasted no time in
putting his claim on A Grade with 1471150.
On this occasion none could match him and thc
trophy was his. A very determined Mick Coleman
held out Neil Sinclair and Ron Power to win B
Grade with 1341150, while Betty Fawcett put her
name on the C Grade trophy with a score of 126/150.
The second event after lunch was the "Front Marker
Special", Handicap, and Sam Edmondp had to do it
the hard way. Shoot 24/25 and then beat Martin
Allen in the shoot-off.
Sam finished with 28/34 to claim first place with
Martin just one point behind in second. Third place
wasn't a giveaway either. Ted Matthews and Brian
Palethorpe shot it out over 12 shoot-off targets
before Ted emerged victorious with a final score of
The finale of the day was 25 Targets Continental
and once again Ted Matthews loomed large with a
score of 25/25. Not to be outdone, Bruce Murphy also
carded 25/25 and then went on to defeat Ted in the
The final winning A Grade score 38/38. Ron Power
had no trouble picking up his only win of the day
and took home the B Grade trophy with his well
C Grade once again called for a shoot-off, this time a
three-way event with Greg Moncrieff, Sam Edmonds
and Martin Allen. Threes figured predominantly in
C Grade as it only took Martin 3 shoots to defeat the
opposition and claim C Grade with 24/33.

At the other end of the Club grounds the Pacific Coast 1.S.U
Skeet Championship was again seeing a good performance by
holding a one target lead over Junior Nathan McDonnell. Bcn
Kelley was on 70175 with Jeff Tonna on 69175, one ahead of Adam
Vella and Jim Ellis. Russell Mark had slipped pack following his

Russell must have done the sums, because he put in the finish of
a true achiever - 50150 for the final day. Michael Diamond kept on
doing his job, but mnnagcd only 44/50 in the last two rounds, 116-

the new system of shooting doubles from stations 3,4 and 5. Geoff

O'Connor, Gill's English team mate, was not having a good time,
starling the day with a pair of 19s. Tom Allen of Ireland, who has
been reportedly shooting well at home, was also not quite getting
it together, and by his own admittance was shooting the targets
well but the add few were gettingaway - but coming out ofthe
cold winter conditions to the heat and humidity of Brisbane was
sure to affect even the best of shooters.

Summers started off stamping his intentions on the competition
early by posting n clean 25W5 in his first round, followed by Geoff
Jukes with 24/25 and Hernu, Len Norman and Cunningham ail
on 23/25. Craig Meuleman, however, started off with a shocker,
carding 11125 to put him in a position which he would find it very
diff~cult to recover from. Summers also had a hiccup in the second
round, hut luckily for him so did everyone else. Top scorers in the
round were Clive Barton, Len Norman, Kiwis Paul Wilson and
Malcolm Duff, and Ken Jones from Sydney.

After the manv troohies were oresented. a series of
shooters began arriving a full hour before the designated
starting time.
A mixture of novices, past members and current
members made up 19 teams of widely varying ability. A
patented handicapping system was used to even out the
competition. Unfortunately, the word bribe seemed to
occur quite regularly in the handicapper's vocabulary,
which caused many of the teams to doubt his
impartiality. However, no team has yet won the trophy
twice and the handicapper has never been in the winning
team, so there must be some method in his madness.
After a hectic session of teams nominating, the office had
the first squads ready to go. A five target event began the
day to settle the nerves and make sure all of the novices
understood the safety ~. requirements of our sport,

had completed a week-long live-in training camp at the
Townsville Gun Club just prior to the event. Team
trophies continued down to eighth place thanks to the
generosity of our sponsors.
The individual trophies saw novices compete in one
section and members and past members in another as
well as junior and ladies trophies. These events were
decided off the gun with no handicap applying. First in
the novice section was Mark Dall'Osto with a score of
45/50, which was one more than second-placed Joseph
Rossato could manage. A score of 43/50 saw a shoot-off
for third and fourth prizes result in a win for Rob
Stockdale over Robert Rea. Fifth was shared by Steven
Colls and Cy Kovacich with 42/50.
The memberslpast members section saw Ray Collinson
beat Neil Sheather after both had managed 51) 50. A
scorc of 49/50 saw third olace taken out bv Robert E'nlco
who usually only shoots bnce a year. ~ourih was shared
by Steve Becke and Bruce McBow.
The Juniors saw first place going to Steven Marina with
challenges we;e issued and accepted as groups of
shooters returned to the tracks to continue enjoying the
novelty of hitting targets. One typical challenge saw
novice winner Mark Dall'Osto challenging his father-in-
law, a former "AA Grade shooter to ten targets off 25
metres. The result, experience triumphed over youth.
The setting sun finally silenced the traps and another
novice day was over.
The result:
- A lot of tired Club members;
- A pile of empty cartridge cases;
- Several thousand broken targets;
- And a lot of enjoyment had by people who
wouldn't normally consider shooting as a sport for
them.

On the 8th July 1995, a meeting was held at the Majura Park
Gun Club with the view of promoting Clay Target Shooting
amongst juniors in NSW. Arising from that meeting, a
committee was established with the intention of conducting a
shoot at the club for that purpose. The emergence of the
Junior Classic Championships came in response to this call
and its inaugural shoot was held on 2nd of March 1996 in
Canberra under calm conditions.

in seven age groups, with the Overall High Gun winner from
each age group section making up the All Age Junior Classic
Team.

All comnetitors showed enthusiasm for their shootine and
wanted'to know when and wherc the nest Junlur sh&t will
be held. It is known that addlrional juniors were prtlvct~ted
from attending the day because of transpurr problems.
Organising Committee Chairman Paul Lyons congratulated
all shooters on their nerformances and thanked Maiura Park
Gun club for thc maiy workers who ensured the e&nt was a
success. 1)unations frum Winchester Ausu.alia and other
organisstions and individuals were acknowledged with
appreciation. The assistance of the WTA and NSWCTA was
Senior shooters whu attended the day werc impressed wit11
the scores and cunduct of all the contestants. and agreed that
the cncouragernent and suppurt ofjuniurs by all mn clubs
was necessary to our goal of increasing club memberships and
necessary to the future of our sport. One on-looker observed
that, with the increasing restrictions on bush-shooting these
days, clubs now have to provide the introduction and the
nursery for our future shooters.
NSW Clubs including Narrandera, West Wyalong, Grenfell
and Majura Park are currently conducting annual Junior
shoots. The NSW Junior Shooters Promotion &Development
Committee believes the demand exists for even more Junior
events and encourages all clubs to pnrticipate and rccognise
the importance of our 'juniors'. It is also suggested that
parents ofjunior shooters, who may not bc shooters
themselves, should be welcomed and given the opportunity to
assist and carry on the organisation ofjunior events over the
period their soddaughter is a Junior Shooter.
Meanivhile, planning has begun tu ensurc next years Junior
Age Classic championships will be bigger and bcttcr. Guod
luck to all Junior Shooters.

South West Zone Junior Award: 1st L. Muldoon, 2nd L.
McLennan, 3rd M. Holt.
A new event was introduced this year whereby the first three
juniors from the S.W.Zone were awarded $150 each to help
with their expenses if they attend the Nationals in Tasmania
this year. The three winners have indicated that they will
attend.
The incoming S.W.Zone President Len Cook thanked the
Colac Gun Club and the ladies for their excellent catering; the
sponsors, Bay City Clay Targets, Warrnambool Co-op and our
anonymous sponsor. Bruce Jennings for transporting spare
trap, Andre Agterhuis Shoot Marshall, Peter McDonald Asst
Shoot Marshall, Keith Vagg Scoreboard, Trevor Smith and
his wife Heather for looking after the office, and all the other
people who in anyway helped during the day and have not
been mentioned.
The attendance was disappointing and we probably suffered
because ofthe public holiday weekend; thc Grand Prix and
other fixtures which were held on the holiday weekend. Ten
of the twelve active clubs in the zone had sliooters attend.

Many times I'm asked the following question by shooters who happen
to be having one of those days when they simply cannot put a good
score together, In spite of the fact that the previous week they scored
very well.
The typical question runs like this -"George, tell me what's the
cause of me shootine like a champion one week and the next week I
couldn't hit a hull inthe backside at 30 feet ifhe were standing still
in a 40 acre paddock?"
Wcll, to answer rhls qucstlun rorructly, we must firstly explntn a fcw
deta~!s 11131 o.nut:rn shootiug .i P~st.mr,ving target w~th it shotbwn

Thoughts and Suggestions that may be
- - -
of Assistance following previous
Promotion Days in N.S.W.
1. Attendance will be an unknown factor. Some indication is
gained from phone enquiries, however, others will just turn up on
the day
2. Individual Club members really need to become involved.
When up to 100 eager people ranging from 10 to 70 turn up, you
really do need all hands on deck. Clubs in N.S.W. have had up to
120 participant<
3. All handout material needs to be given at the end of the day
with the participation certificates. As mentioned previously, have
everything in bags, otherwise it will be put down and left behind.
4. Involve all the media outlets in your area. The in-person
approach may be necessary Yes, it takes time but it will be worth
it in the long run.
5. On the day keep it simple and, remember, all guns do not cost
$15,000. Keep it in perspective.
6. It is very off-putting for visitors to stand back and watch a
squad of the Club's top shooters breaking evely target, and then
go out and try to do the same after being told how easy it is!!
7. Follow up after the day - say, a month later. A standard letter to
everyone who attended, keeping in touch, encouragement, etc.
8. When your new participants come along to a Club day,
remember - plenty of encouragement, assistance,
advice - preferable from just one person. If possible, assign one
Club member per new shooter for a few months.

Introduction
Sunday 30th June 1996
10.00am
For the first time, every Club in Australia will be taking
part in the introduction/ promotional day that is now in
its third year in N.S.W.
This guideline booklet is supplied to assist every Club
to conduct the day in the same manner and to provide
assistance in the actual arrangements of the day.
The A.C.T.A. will be providing information brochures,
handout leaflets, booklets, advertising posters and
participation cards.
The success of the exercise wilI depend on the amount
of effort put in by each club and the amount of support
given by each Club's members.
Further on throughout the booklet, separate sections
will give more detailed information which may be seen
as "old hat" to some Clubs who have run successful
promotion days in the past. However, there are Clubs
who will be undertaking this project for the first time,
and every little bit usually helps in the end.
Prior Planning by the
Individual Clubs
This exercise is working successfully in N.S.W. and is gaining in
participation numbers attending each year. Although it may seem
overwhelming for some Clubs first up, if all your members become
involved, it becomes quite easy to handle.
It is very important that every member of each Club fully understands
the plans for the day, how the day will be conducted, what it will cost,
and so on.
Once the advertising posters are put up around the towns and
editorial material appears in the local press, everyone will need to be
able to answer enquiries directed to them by anyone who sees the
advertising and wants more information.
The success of the day will depend on how well your Club promotes
itself and what you have to offer. The more your Club puts into the
day, the more possibility you will have of getting members later down
the track.
It is understandable that Clubs in remote areas will have difficulty in
gaining extra media coverage, so those Clubs will have to rely on the
posters and "word of mouth" from their own members.
Each Club should have a contact person -this may not necessarily be
the Secretary. Anyone who is easily accessible by phone and who has
a bit of "promotional" ability. This person's phone number will appear
on the posters and should be included in the media releases.
The contact person will be the one who speaks to the media, looks
after enquiries, and so on.
HELPERS
A few members will need to get together to help fill in the details
pertaining to your Club on one of the brochures -a bit of hand-writing.
The kits will then need to be "bagged up" -few helpers will see this job
done quickly.

The Program for the Day
Starting Time: 10.00am
Start with a cuppa and a friendly welcome.
Have each Club member wear a name tag of some sort.
A name tag for each visitor is also advisable.
With everyone welcome, ensure that the visitors' book
has been signed with complete details.
Commence with a welcome from the President:
1. Short history of the Club
2. What the day is about
3. The day's program
Club Coach's explanation of clay target shooting:
1. Explanation of D.T.L. shooting and guns used
2. Explanation of Skeet shooting and guns used
3. Explanation of I.S.U. shooting
Club Coach's safety instruction:
1. Firearm safety
2. Shooting etiquette
3. Suitable clothing
4. Ear protection and glasses
5. Basic fundamentals of shooting
To avoid boredom, keep this as brief as possible.
Try to keep it down to 20 minutes all up.
As provided by National Director of Coaching
Murray Alexander.
Remember - safety is the most important issue.
All shooting is to be single barrel.
DOWN THE LINE
1. Traps to be set on straight away
2. Minimum distance - maximum legal height
3. 1 coach or experienced member per visitor
4. Ammunition to be controlled by members -hand
visitor the cartridge when it is their turn to shoot
5. Ammunition to be the lightest load available -
Winchester 1200 or equivalent
6. 5 shots per visit - maximum 4 visits.
1. Station 7 - Low House
2. Set on minimum distance - standard height.
Shooting fundamentals explanation continued as the
group and individuals on the tracks as shooting
progresses.
Keep advice and instructions simple.
Reinforce safety.
Additional members to move around non-shooting
visitors to ensure they feel welcome.
Encourage at all times.

Depending on the numbers in attendance, more time
may be available for visitors to participate in more than
20 targets later in the afternoon.
CONCLUSION
The Club President presents "Participation Certificates"
and kits to alk participants.
Thanks visitors for viewing and
participating in our sport.
Any questions may be taken over a provided tea to
round off an enjoyable day.

ammunition costs, etC.
Membership Form and Fees
Police Firearm Safety Code booklets relevant to each State.
Follow-up after the Day
Having had every person who attended sign the visitors' book and
provide their address, the Club now has all that is necessary to
make contact with a Club newsletter or just an invitation
to come out again.
Provide everyone who attends the day with a copy of your Club's
shooting program and details of a contact person so they may
make contact themselves, if they wish.
When they do come back to a shoot -if it is a competition day,
allow them to shoot for targets only for a while. This will
assist in keeping the costs down.
Encourage attendance on practice days if your Club has them.
Make them aware that the Club has a coach who is only
too happy to assist them.
Most of all, make them feel welcome and encourage them
to come back again.
Once they have been a few times, take the opportunity to discuss
the A.C.T.A. Interim Membership - $10.00 for three (3)
months - with them..
Explain what is obtained with the A.C.T.A. membership and that
should they join as an interim member, their $10 is deducted from
the full A.C.T.A. membership.
With the Promotion Day being 30th June, it will be the second half
of the year when they are looking to join, so the reduced fees will
be attractive.
